Suicide is Painless

Wasn't it "Mash"? "Suicide Is Best"... the actual song is suicide is painless, if mash was the theme you were after..
Theme from mash david wolf from new orleans/cleveland
i am trying to find the answer myself. i like it & can not find mash anywhere!
Firstly, the band is not monster mash, but its monster magnet, and the song is called "Live for the Moment"
Released in 1962 by 'Boris Picket and the Crypt Kickers', the Monster Mash was written by Bobby (Boris) Picket and fellow bandmember Lenny Capizzi.

A good theme song for a show is catchy/memorable and gives the audience a short history or idea of what they will be seeing. For instance, Gilligan's song tells you why the 7 castaways ended up on the island. For Rawhide, the themesong gives you some idea of what the drovers, who moved cattle to the railheads, were like. For MASH the theme song references the climatic scene of the movie, even though that event did not happen on the television show.

the song is called 'Thats How People Grow Up'. Love that mashup!
